https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/all … e/download

The .deb should be safe to install directly in Devuan. It has no dependencies. The package's postinst script runs update-initramfs automatically.

# update-initramfs -c -t -k all

See https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php … 18#p755418 for the method.

Downloading the latest snapshot and copying the binaries from the amdgpu, r128, and radeon folders to /lib/firmware/ folders (overwrite the existing files) should do the trick. This will not remove firmware-amd-graphics, but add to the existing files.

As of the date of this post, we'll download linux-firmware-20220815 as the latest snapshot, extract it, and copy the folders to their respective directories:

wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/snapshot/linux-firmware-20220815.tar.gz
tar -xf linux-firmware-20220815.tar.gz && cd linux-firmware-20220815
sudo cp amdgpu /lib/firmware/
sudo cp r128 /lib/firmware/
sudo cp radeon /lib/firmware/

Reboot your system afterwards for the changes to take full effect.
